About this listing
Gibson Memphis ES Les Paul SpecialMade in USASerial Number 11936745The Gibson ES Les Paul is the company’s marriage of two of its most popular models – the Les Paul and the 335 – into a small bodied, hybrid, semi-hollow guitar. The full-fat model retails at a very high price, so Gibson has produced a ‘Special’ version with stripped down, no-nonsense styling and cost effective hardware to make this model more affordable whilst retaining as much quality as possible.The 2016 ES Les Paul Special features 335 style construction with a laminate maple, poplar, maple body and a flat top, removing the associated costs of producing an arch top design. A one-piece maple neck is matched to a thermally treated maple fretboard with dot inlays and the classic Gibson headstock, this time featuring a 335 style F-hole on the truss rod cover. By thermally treating the maple you get the look of rosewood at less cost and a more stable piece of wood overall. The figured top is finished in an Iced Tea burst, while the back and sides sport a dark stain that matches nicely with the dark colour of the heat-treated maple fretboard and blends nicely into the edges of the top for a seamless look. The pickups are 57Classic/Super 57Classic, and they produce a warm sound that goes well with the hollowbody.Overall in very good condition, plays and sounds great, well balanced. Comes complete with original hard case, case candy & COA.
